2009 Big Summer Read

Books — physical, audio or eBooks — tell lots of tales. These stories can be true or imagined; they can be historical or contemporary; they can be illustrated with photographs or with paints. And most important, they can be shared at home, on vacation, in the car, on a plane or boat, here or there — anywhere, actually!

Books and stories of fact and fiction make great summer companions for children and are ideal for adults to share with children. So grab a book, find a comfy place, and enjoy!
